They're banned here in Austin. So what I do now is ask for paper or heavy duty plastic bags (because those are apparently still legal here?) every time I go shopping because I never, ever remember to lug a bunch of dirty, empty canvas bags back to my car. I also buy more garbage bags because I used to use the plastic bags from the grocery store as small garbage bags. I'm creating more waste than ever.
